How To Hit Long Irons swingmangolf.com Golf Swing Lessons, Tips & Instruction – How To Hit Long Irons (3-5 Irons) Learn how to hit long irons and also how to increase swing speed. Many amateurs have problems with their long irons (3-5 irons). Most of the golf instruction teaches us to have our hands in front of the club head at impact. Although this is a very good hand position for a professional with 110+ MPH swing speed, for amateurs with slower swing speeds this causes problems. In this video Golf Instructor, Jaacob Bowden will show you different ways you can utilize your 3-5 irons. Leave a COMMENT if this video was of help to your golf game.

He told us 3 things… the first one is avoid holding your angle too late like you were swinging as hard as Tiger Woods; give it a chance to pop the ball little higher. You can do this easily by correctly your swing just a bit and taking off some of your late lag in your wrist.
The third advice was too a good one: he tells us that our swing may actually not be good enough to hit well with long distance irons… improve your general swing speed and change your iron game.

Actually, his advice was a little different if you listened and took time to understand something out of it.

Hybrids are incredible.. They are bit funny to use at first because you think you need to swing them like a fairway wood but once figure out they are no different from a middle iron they really help.
I use a 3 and 4 as hybrid but keep 5 iron because I happen to hit my best shots with it

@cmares58 – Actually, you might be surprised. The inherent design characteristics of many hybrids are to help get the ball up in the air easier…and given the same launch angle and spin rate, a ball taking off with more ball speed will reach a higher peak height and also drop down more vertically to the ground.

What more specifically do you mean by legs coming up? One or both coming off the ground? Straightening of the legs?

how come when i it with all my irons except the wedge i hit the dirt and not the ball
April 26th, 2010 at 8:23 pm
i use a sharpie marker it leaves a mark on the face time after time

What do you use to mark your balls to leave a mark on the club face?
April 26th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
Just remember one very important thing.You are not simply returning to your address position. You create an angle between the shaft and your hands IN THE BACKSWING,you have created what is popularly known as the, “Flying Wedge.” With a straight left arm and hand,and the shifting of weight to the left side use this wedge to strike the ball with the right hand. It is in the backswing that the angle is created with which to strike the ball,not the set up.Practice w 1/4,1/2 &3/4 swings.

i like to look at the videos for tips but the best thing i have done is just get 100 balls and go to the park or a school feild and just hit ball after ball until you find what works for you i put a mark on all my balls so it leaves a mark on my club face to see exactly where i hit it as with cosistency i now have my legs straight with very little flex and try to mimic iron byron machine so the bottom half of me stays quite stationary and this has stopped me hitting fat
April 26th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
yeah, do you know which way would be better?
April 26th, 2010 at 10:48 pm
Can someone help me with my swing? For iron shots i sometimes start my swing with my hands already ahead of the ball with the club at an angle and sometimes i do it when the clubs straight up and down. I have good contact both was, but I want to stick with one swing, which way is better?
